Aerostyle Project 14 (1943)
In 1942, the Aerostyle Aviation Firm needed something to boost their funds and government standing. So they created the Project 14, which was a multi-role night-fighter. It carried one 250 lbs. bomb and had an offensive armament of six 20mm cannons. It had a crew of four: pilot, navigator/bombardier, Waist gunner, and tail gunner. The defensive armament is: two .50 caliber machine guns in the waist and two 20mm cannons in the rear. It was equipped with radar and the crew of the aircraft got a radical new invention; Night vision goggles (very early ones, so they were prone to shutting down and other problems). All of the Windows on he plane were very heavily glazed and were made bullet proof to protect the crew at all costs. Also, the pilot and tail gunner sat in ejector seats (they would just shoot you out and then you had to deploy your own parachute from there). Hard to take off and fly, so be warned! Enjoy!

@RABpilot And I am working on a gigantic, 8 engine, flying wing super-heavy bomber with twin bomb bays. And you won't believe where they are positioned.
That sounds like me, @AlphaOneIndustries
@RABpilot I just look around for modded parts or "useful" objects (like 0.1 diameter fuselage parts, bombs, missiles, little cannons and such) and save them as a sub assembly.
Well, thanks for your upvote and at least you have modded something! I can't, so... @AlphaOneIndustries
@RABpilot I wish I did. And the only modded engine sub assemblies. that I have are jet engines, excluding propellers modded to have different blade lengths or amount.
Thanks @AlphaOneIndustries. Do you know how to mod these engines? If so, please do!
